Iran

The council on foreign relations, one of the think tanks seen as a major contributor to the forecasting of the White House foreign policies, has lately published an opinion piece that says “Time to attack Iran”.

When the first Israeli plane enters Iranian airspace, the strait of hormuz will be closed.

Can the US afford that? Can NATO? Israel itself is not in the same league.
